[@shintarousatomi3142]

my text got stretched when i change size image, I want to use touch type tool with every text in my image to resize the text, how can I do that ? tks

[@terrabellasoap6714]

Hi I’m stuck on how to turn the pencil curves into a line. Mine are filled in like shapes.

[@KittiyKyat]

Can you explain why the width tool seems to arbitrarily not work? I hover over a shape and it has a circle with a slash symbol and won't allow me to use it. Thanks.

[@marileaminasi2325]

Me: watching video to learn about narcissism and others to learn about design
RUclips: hold up check this out

[@user-rz1zf9rj8x]

world no 1 beautiful girl.

[@ArmandoMedia]

you're so so beautiful

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

I followed intently, created outlines, clicked on the anchor points but the entire word moved, there was no manipulaion to the letter....Then I tried again and it worked, but then on every other letter, just the letter moved,...eventually by playing, I found out that you DOUBLE CLICK on the anchor point, so why didn't you say that?...

[@oreocookie3379]

when I manipulate Fonts....does it make me a toxic person? 🤔

[@AliceThorpe]

🤣 i enjoyed this! I wish I had a witty response

[@1wickedmonkey2]

Not if the font was already lacking character

[@tabortrixiexyrene1101]

no but sa hahaha

[@kahanikisafar9040]

Sorry for being too null

[@theragir58]

This is so helpful! Thank you
